It doesn’t get much hotter than the EGG cookin’ in July! Make sure to keep yourself hydrated with a bit of whatever you’re using for the Beer Can Chicken. Ice Cream Sandwiches are also a great way to stay cool. Looking for some great ideas for a summer cook out? Try out a Pimento Cheeseburger or Dr. BBQ’s Spare Rib Surprise. Just don’t be surprised if your neighbors stop by for a quick bite when they smell what you’re cooking!

Hey VI we don't appreciate the negative stereotypes! Some of us are classy and eat gizzards and hearts, not,chitlins. :-B but you are crazy wrong on grits. I love my grits, makes top 5 in list of reasons why I could never leave the south.

Ha! Actually, I grew up in Connecticut, so chitlins, pigs feet, and chicken feet are off the menu for me! Grits are fine, we the above mentions butter. But, I am convinced the South has the BEST BBQ, hands down.

Grits are great with eggs and bacon crumbled into them. Vi, why the hatred of southerners?. The day after mlk day you're going to throw out hurtful and abusive racism against southern folks. I don't understand.

@yzzi - can't 'member who it was (he's on the other forum, not his one), but he was making scrapple next to me at the Plano Eggfest. Retired something or other? Loco? I don't know, but those handles are ringing bells.

@henapple - I don't think VI said anything about race. He just mentioned some things southerners are steroetyped to eat.

Wow, henapple. I was just kidding. I think everyone else knew that.

If I got my knckers in a twit everytime someone made fun of Texas or Texana, I'd stay in a huff. Actually, your post is offensive to me by implying there was any racism overtones at all. Where did that come from?

The proper way to eat grits is not with butter, tho it can be added. Instead while the grits are cooking, never use instant, you make the bacon. You then make the eggs in the same pan leaving the bacon grease. Flavor. Sausage can be used in addition but really need the bacon grease. Mix all together in a bowl with the bacon crumbled up. Top with salt and pepper and butter if desired. But should be enough bacon grease to keep your pipes slick rest of day. Getting hungry typing this.

I wouldn't grits above my warm weather or 3 1/2 month hunting season ha. And the fact that our tan, hot ladies can wear shorts and skirts 9 months out of year beat out grits. But grits high on my southern food list. Versatile too. Shrimp and grits anyone?

It goes 2 ways - grits: food

GRITS: Girls Raised In The South. I'm not talking about that song, either.
